EDITORS COMMENTS
September 9, 1922: A Historical Moment on Smyrna Quay - British Consul and His Wife Witness the End of the Greek Presence in Smyrna (Izmir) This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the annals of history as the British Consul and his wife stand on the quay of Smyrna (now Izmir), Turkey, witnessing the chaotic aftermath of the Kemalist Proclamation. The scene unfolds before them as the defeated Greek Commander in Chief, General Trikupis, and his troops are forced into the sea, marking the end of the Greek presence in Smyrna. The Kemalist forces, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, had been advancing on the city since August 1922, culminating in the final confrontation on September 8th. The Greek defeat came as a result of a combination of factors, including the superior numbers and tactics of the Turkish army, the lack of support from the international community, and the internal strife within the Greek ranks. The photograph offers a glimpse into the tumultuous events of that fateful day, with smoke rising from the burning buildings in the background and the chaos of the sea filled with fleeing Greeks. The British Consul and his wife, dressed in their formal attire, stand as silent observers to the unfolding scene, their expressions conveying a sense of disbelief and sadness at the turn of events. This photograph is an important historical record of a pivotal moment in the history of Smyrna and the broader context of the Greco-Turkish War. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of historical moments to shape our collective memory.
